People like us together: Priyanka Chopra on her pairing with Ranveer Singh

Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh have shared screen space thrice. Among the newer lot of actors, she has done the maximum films with him. Ranveer and PC flirted in Gunday, then they played siblings in Dil Dhadakne Do. And finally, she played Kashibai to Ranveer’s Peshwa Bajirao in Bajirao Mastani. They look good together and have a versatile energy that keeps them from getting slotted.

Which is why this couple got away with playing siblings and then a married couple in the same year (in 2015). No other actor or actress of this generation has pulled off this feat.

When asked about what makes their pair tick, PC says, “I think the fact that we can evolve as actors. All three films we have done together have been different in dynamics. I’ve gone from being a wife to a girlfriend to a sister. So, I think the fact that, as actors, we managed to convince audiences that we don’t get fazed by playing different characters. That’s a huge kick! And I think people like us together.” Unfortunately, she is not a part of Ranveer’s next, Padmavati, which stars both her Bajirao Mastani co-stars. PC was offered a role in the film, but she couldn’t do it as she was busy with work commitments in the US. But it’s only a matter of time before they pair up again on screen.
